Things You Need To Know:
Prop Aaron Woods was named on Tuesday but has been ruled out with a
knee injury suffered in last week's 20-6 loss to South Sydney.
Tigers veteran Pat Richards will miss one week after copping the
early plea for his lifting tackle on Greg Inglis. Delouise Hoeter
makes his NRL debut on the wing.

Reason To Watch:
Greg Inglis successfully targeted Tigers rising star James Tedesco
last Sunday, finishing well on top in the battle of the full-backs.
Expect Brett Morris to attempt to do the same against one of his
main rivals for the NSW full-back spot.

Reason To Turn Away:
If Aaron Woods is out injured it'll be a long night for the rest of
the Tigers forwards against the giant Bulldogs pack.

Say What:

Very tough game last night. Stoked to get the win. Time to get
the body right for next week #winnersaregrinners

Final Word:
The Bulldogs have won five of the past six meetings between these
two, but the Tigers did win the corresponding clash last year
46-18. Des Hasler's men are coming off consecutive wins including
their unconvincing four-point triumph over Manly last start. The
Tigers are also 2-1 to start the season but enter on the back of
their first defeat of the campaign against the Bunnies. There's no
doubting the Tigers talent and they are more than capable of
beating any side in the comp on their day, but we expect the Dogs
to grind out another victory in a close one. Bulldogs by eight.
